The Kremlin ‘wooed’ former Fox News star Tucker Carlson to Russia to ‘spite Biden’, sources have claimed as reports in Russia say the ‘interview is likely to happen’.
Carlson has been pictured and recorded in Moscow this week as rumors abound that he’s there in order to become the first Western media figure to interview Vladimir Putin since the invasion of Ukraine began.
The Moscow Times now reports that Putin’s administration engineered the meeting as part of a ‘propaganda coup’ against the US. A potential interview has already been endorsed by fringe presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Carlson, 54, was regularly accused of covering pro-Russia talking points on his Fox News show. Since his acrimonious firing, Carlson has interviewed a range of figures on his new broadcast on X including Russell Brand, Andrew Tate and Ice Cube.
‘Tucker has been expected here for a long time. He is welcome here. Now everyone in the presidential administration has rolled up their sleeves and is working together,’ an unnamed source told Moscow Times
Meanwhile on X, Russian media figure Alexei Venediktov wrote: ‘As far as I understand, Tucker Carlson got what he wanted.’..
